Gone From These Woods ,[object Object],by Donny Bailey Seagraves,[object Object]
Uncle Clay was my hero. ,[object Object],We did all sorts of things together.,[object Object]
We read comic books together. We loved super heroes and he called me D-Man.,[object Object]
We’d walk through the 300 acres of woods that belonged to him and my Dad.,[object Object]
When I turned eleven, Uncle Clay gave me the hunting rifle that belonged to my late Granddaddy.,[object Object]
I would spend nights at his house when my Dad was mean and raving from drink.,[object Object]
I could tell Uncle Clay anything.,[object Object]
I shot my Uncle Clay. ,[object Object],It was an accident, but it was all my fault.,[object Object]
All my fault.,[object Object], I don’t know how I’m going to live with that.,[object Object]
Crying is a baby silly thing. ,[object Object],I deserve to suffer,[object Object]
I wish I could be a baby again so my Mom would never let anything bad happen to me. ,[object Object]
The whole church is praying for me, but I know they blame me.,[object Object]
Mom says “you’ll get past this terrible thing that happened. It will take a long time, but you’ll heal.”,[object Object]
My friends want me back at school. “It wasn’t your fault, what happened to Clay.”,[object Object]
Nothing feels good or right.,[object Object]
I can’t get rid of my guilt. It’s always there eating at me.,[object Object]
Just like the guilt eats at my Dad. ,[object Object],My screaming smoking hateful Dad.,[object Object]
Guilt turned my Dad into a scary drinking monster who whips his son’s legs with a belt.,[object Object]
Will guilt turn me into a monster like my Dad?,[object Object]
I feel like a super hero going backwards, losing powers.,[object Object]
I miss my Uncle Clay. ,[object Object]
Uncle Clay is never coming back and it is all my fault.,[object Object],I can’t pretend my way out of that.,[object Object]
I pretend I feel better, but I still can’t eat or sleep or even read.,[object Object]
I’m no super hero. I’m just Daniel. ,[object Object]
I can hear Clay telling me “Daniel is still strong and powerful. Daniel can get through this.,[object Object],Go on and live this life for the both of us. ,[object Object]
I feel something inside me crumble. Sadness and fear. I can’t fix my Dad or bring Clay back, but I can live for them as well as myself. ,[object Object]
It’s what Uncle Clay would want.,[object Object]
Gone From These Woods by Donny Bailey Seagraves.,[object Object],2009, Delacorte Press.,[object Object],Digital book talk by Kathryn Whitehouse.,[object Object],Prepared  for LIBR 264 Fall, 2010  taught by Dr. Douglas Achterman.,[object Object],Images sourced through Creative Commons.,[object Object],Royalty free music sources through Incompetech.,[object Object]

Editor's Notes

  1. Uncle Clay was my hero. We did all sorts of things together
  2. We’d walk through the 300 acres of woods that belonged to him and my Dad.
  3. When I turned eleven, Uncle Clay gave me the hunting rifle that belonged to my late Granddaddy.
  4. I would spend nights at his house when my Dad was mean and raving from drink.
  5. I could tell Uncle Clay anything.
  6. I shot my Uncle Clay. It was an accident, but it was all my fault.
  7. All my fault. I don’t know how I am going to live with that.
  8. Crying is a baby silly thing. I deserve to suffer.
  9. I wish I could be a baby again so my Mom would never let anything bad happen to me.
  10. The whole church is praying for me, but I know they blame me.
  11. Mom says “you’ll get past this terrible thing that happened. It will take a long time, but you’ll heal.”
  12. My friends want me back at school. “It wasn’t your fault, what happened to Clay.”
  13. Nothing feels good or right.
  14. But I can’t get rid of my guilt. It’s always there eating at me.
  15. Just like guilt eats at my Dad. My screaming smoking hateful Dad.
  16. Guilt turned my Dad into a scary drinking monster who whips his son’s legs with a belt.
  17. I miss my Uncle Clay.
  18. Uncle Clay is never coming back and it is all my fault. I can’t pretend my way out of that.
  19. I pretend I feel better, but I still can’t eat or sleep or even read.
  20. I’m no super hero. I’m just Daniel.
  21. Maybe I can go on and live life for the both of us. It’s what Uncle Clay would want.
